Duan-ya Police Post
斷崖駐在所

The Duan-ya Police Post at the Zhuilu section of the Hehuan Traversing Historic Trail is located on the west side of the Zhuilu Cliff, just where it begins to enter the forest. It was first the Donglu Branch Office. Later in 1922, it was changed to Duan-ya Police Post and was finally abolished in 1934.

Today, hikers who come here will rest on the concrete foundation platform that remained from the police post before turning back.

Zhuilu Cliff is located on the Zhuilu section of the Hehuan Traversing Historic Trail. It is a steep cliff that was formed by the Liwu River cutting through the ridgeline of the mountain. It is about 1,200 meters long, 600 meters high and is mostly marble rocks. It faces the Fuji Cliff across the Liwu River, which is only around 20 meters away. It can even be called the most magnificent landscape in the Taroko Gorge.

When walking along the Zhuilu cliff, you will pass through a small tunnel. Inside the tunnel is a stone-carved Buddha, and the stone wall outside the tunnel is engraved with the words commemorating the excavation team who completed the project in 1915. The excavation project was led by Police Captain Umezawa Masa.

It is about 1,200 meters long, 600 meters high and is mostly marble rocks. It faces the Fuji Cliff across the Liwu River, which is only around 20 meters away. It can even be called the most magnificent landscape in the Taroko Gorge.

Due to the steep terrain of the Zhuilu section of the historic trail, some sections of the road have collapsed. For safety purposes, only the section from the entrance to the Duan’ya police post (around 3.1 km) is currently open. If walking from the Zhuilu Suspension Bridge, it takes about 90 minutes to reach the most quintessential section of Zhuilu Cliff.
